I'm not sure, I didn't go very fast or far so it might not have ever had a chance to get out of first. Basically all I was doing was making sure that the 4000 ppm setting on the Cable-x would work, which it did.

Would you sell the air cleaner housing for the old 250 engine?

I would, but I'd have to dig it out of my parts mess.
Thanks Ken.
Yes we do. But I probably won't be going to many until this truck is done, but then it's game on!
Thanks, and I'll be at most the local cruises at least a couple of times this summer.

Well the other day the bed I bought before I bought this truck was delivered. It's almost completely rust free, but unfortunately it's not dent free. After doing some number crunching, it became obvious that new bedsides and floor was going to be the way to go.





So this is where I'm at now, should go pretty quick now since I don't have to do a months worth of body work.





Also got some good news, the red '68 with the 5.3 4l60e that I built for a friend back in 2005 made the cover/feature of the new Classic Trucks magazine. I knew it was shot for the feature, but the cover was a suprise!

What application are the rad hoses from? Nice truck!

They're the factory hoses that came with the engine. 2003 Silverado.

Well, this one isn't going to be done, and I'm taking the '33 on a two week trip to New York in September, so I'll probably just take the Truckster. Wanna trade?

Nice work! Would you happen to have anymore pictures or info on the mods you did to get the 2003 ac into the 72 suite case? Are you using the 2003 condenser as well?

Thanks!

I do have more pictures, but I'm not at home right now, so I'll have to find them when I get back. But basically it's two A/C boxes that I combined to make one. It needed to be made about 2 inches longer to get the 2003 evaporator to fit in the box. I'm also using the 2003 condenser and hoses, so in theory it should work as good as a 2003, but I have not tested it yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the '72 box doesnt affect the airflow over the evaporator too much.

did you wire it in or is it a aftermarket harness?

the reason im asking is i am putting in a 00 lq4/4l80e in a 85 and having problems on the wires out of the stock underthe hood fuse/relay box,need to know or find a pinout from the fusebox to the cab....and without the bcm in the picture will i still have passlock issues? renewedthoughts@gmail.com

Here are the pics of the A/C box modifications. Was alot of work, and is untested but I think it's going to work.

The box needed to be lengthened a couple of inches, so I started by cutting two A/C boxes in two.





Then over layed the two to get an idea of where to mate them together. By using two boxes I only had one seam, versus using one box and adding a piece down the middle.





Then I fiberglassed the two halves together.













This is with the evaporator installed to make sure everything would fit.





From there it's just a matter of doing some body work to smooth everything up and then paint.

Thanks for updating your pics, very clever way of doing this.. I think it should work just like it did in the 2003! Now I need to get busy with mine.. Where to find another ac suite case for a 67-72 pickup in Canada?
